Circulation’s Newest Section Mini-Review: Expert Opinions

Dr Dean Kereiakes is the Section Editor for Circulation’s newest section, Mini-Reviews: Expert Opinions. Expert opinions and advice will be solicited from internationally recognized thought-leaders for topics in cardiovascular medicine that are of interest to the cardiovascular clinician. In addition, health-care policy and patient care issues will be examined attempting to improve clinical care and resource utilization. Mini-Reviews: Expert Opinions will provide timely, useful advice on the recognition and management of important cardiovascular problems and will expand the clinically relevant format of Circulation. The new section will be available in print and via a radio button on the home page of Circulation Online in January 2003.

Dr Elliott Antman is Section Editor for two new sections that were introduced in the Online version of Circulation in May 2001. The sections are available as a collection through radio buttons on the home page of Circulation Online, and now the Clinician Update is also published in the print journal. We are pleased to offer the new sections as a review for the clinician and as a resource for the patient.
